hi i need to supress the zero in the output dataset using the jcl ,

Please tell me how to do that

On your "FIELDS=" why don't you try (on a copy) taking all the column numbers off except the first one. Makes it easier to follow, easier to code/maintain.

Have you look at "edit masks" for your unknown Sort product?

If you mean you want leading blanks instead of leading zeros for that field and the field is in ZD format, you can use:

50:69,3,ZD,EDIT=(IIT)

If you mean something else, then you need to explain clearly exactly what you mean. What does the input look like? What do you want the output to look like?

If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:

You cannot by JCL. But if you mean by sort then when you let us know which sort product you use (ICE messages from DFSORT and WER messages from SYNCSORT) then the topic can be moved to the appropriate part of the forum.

thanks frank its working fine..
